Welcome to Westminster!

We are excited that you are conisdering attending Westminster Theological Seminary.  The information below is provided as a guide to help you make an informed decision as you discern if God is calling you to Westminster.  

Veterans Affairs Educational Benefits

Westminster participates in the GI Bill, under which veterans may be eligible for both tuition and living stipend benefits.  For information about the types of VA Benefits available, please see Benefit Comparison Tools.  For specific information about eligibility and to apply online for VA benefits, please visit Department of Veterans Affairs GI Bill

Once a veteran has applied and been found eligible, he/she will receive a "Letter of Eligibility" from the VA.  To receive benefits at Westminster, the "Letter of Eligibility" is presented to the Financial Aid Office.  Once admitted to the seminary, the veteran will be added to the VA system as a Westminster student.  The Westminster Certifying Official will certify the number of credits taken online once you have enrolled for classes at the beginning of your first semester.  Post 9-11 GI Bill tuition benefits are paid directly to Westminster, while living expense funds are paid directly to the student. If you have questions please contact the Financial Aid Office at Westminster.
